Delayed onset of transversus abdominus in long-standing groin pain

Long-standing groin pain is a persistent problem that is commonly difficult to rehabilitate. Theoretical rationale indicates a relationship between the motor control of the pelvis and long-standing groin pain; however, this link has not been investigated. Purpose: The current experiment aimed to evaluate motor control of the abdominal muscles in a group of Australian football players with and without long-standing groin pain. Methods: Ten participants with long-standing groin pain and 12 asymptomatic controls were recruited for the study. Participants were elite or subelite Australian football players. Fine-wire and surface electromyography electrodes were used to record the activity of the selected abdominal and leg muscles during a visual choice reaction-time task (active straight leg raising). Results: When the asymptomatic controls completed the active straight leg raise (ASLR) task, the transversus abdominus contracted in a feed-forward manner. However, when individuals with long-standing groin pain completed the ASLR task, the onset of transversus abdominus was delayed (P < 0.05) compared with the control group. There were no differences between groups for the onset of activity of internal oblique, external oblique, and rectus abdominus (all P > 0.05). Conclusions: The finding that the onset of transversus abdominus is delayed in individuals with long-standing groin pain is important, as it demonstrates an association between long-standing groin pain and transversus abdominus activation.

Prevalence of rectocele in young nulliparous women

Background: It is generally assumed that fascial defects in the rectovaginal septum are the result of childbirth. However, rectoceles do occur in women who have never delivered vaginally. Aims: To determine the incidence of rectocele in a cohort of asymptomatic, young nulliparous women. Methods: Observational cohort study on 178 nulliparous caucasian women (aged 18-24) recruited for a twin study of pelvic floor dysfunction. All women were interviewed and examined by translabial ultrasound, supine and after voiding. In 52 women, 3D imaging was obtained and 171 datasets were complete and available for analysis. Ultrasound findings were reviewed for rectovaginal septal integrity by an assessor blinded against interview and demographic data for rectovaginal septal integrity. Results: A discontinuity of the anterior rectal wall with extrusion of rectal mucosa or contents (depth of ! 10 mm) was observed in 21/171 (12%). The depth of this herniation ranged from 10 to 25 mm and was filled with stool (n = 10) or rectal mucosa (n = 11). Defects were associated with a higher BMI (P = 0.049), with the complaint of constipation (P = 0.049) and non-significantly with straining at stool (P = 0.09). Descent of the ampulla to beyond the level of the symphysis pubis without fascial defect, that is, significant perineal relaxation, was observed in 23/171 (13%). Conclusions: Twelve percent of 171 young nulligravid caucasian women showed a defect of the rectovaginal septum. Associations were observed with higher body mass index and a history of constipation. It is hypothesised that in some women defects of the rectovaginal septum and perineal hypermobility may be congenital in nature.

Bloqueos regionales comunes en pediatría realizados en el Hospital Regional Vicente Corral Moscoso

Para realizar esta investigación, se tomó 90 pacientes, a los cuales se dividió en tres grupos de treinta en forma indistinta. Al primer grupo, se les adminstró Midazolam a dosis de 0.25 mg/Kg. de peso para su premedicación, 30 minutos antes de ingresar a quirófano, para colaborarar con el anestesiólogo. Luego se realiza la inducción con Halotano, que para llevar a plano anestésico su M.A.C. normalmente es de 3-4 vol. valores altos y tóxicos para el niño. Luego se realiza bloqueo regional con Bupivacaina, su dosis de 0.2-2 mg/kg de peso a un centímetro por encima de la sínfisis de pubis, administrado la mitad de la dosis a cada lado de la línea media. Luego se observó que el M.A.C. disminuyó notablemente, manteniéndose su vol. entre 0.5-1 con una media de 1.3 con una analgésia de 120 a 180 minutos, con una media de 100.33 minutos. Al segundo grupo se administró analgésicos como novalgina y tempra, produciendo también disminución del M.A.C. pero no como el bloqueo, manteniéndose su vol. entre 2-3 su media de 2.5 y el tiempo de analgesia menor, con una media de la novalgina de 30 minutos y del tempra de 20 minutos. Al tercer grupo no se le adminstro ni el bloqueo ni los analgésicos, por la que el M.A.C. de estos pacientes siempre fue alto y con la administración de analgésicos en dosis altas e intervalos cortos
